Overheating Protection - Miele KM 499 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety features

Overheating protection

The induction coil on a cooking zone
can overheat if:
– the pan is not conducting heat
properly
– fats or oils are heated up on the
highest power setting.
The overheating protection works on
the affected cooking zone in one of the
following ways:
– If a cooking zone with the Booster
function is affected and the Booster
is switched on, then the Booster will
be switched off.
– If power setting 9 has been set, the 9
will flash, alternating with the 8, i. e.
the cooking zone power level has
been reduced to 8.
– The affected cooking zone switches
itself off automatically. The display
first shows a 0 and then the residual
heat indicator.
The cooking zone can be used again
as soon as it has cooled down to a safe
level.
To prevent the overheating protection
from cutting in again:
– use pots and pans which conduct
heat properly.
– heat fats or oils up on a medium
power setting only.

If the cooling elements overheat:
The cooking zone cooling elements can
overheat if the appliance does not have
sufficient ventilation.
The overheating protection affects the
whole hob in one of the following ways:
– If the Booster is operating it will be
switched off.
– If power setting 9 has been set, the 9
will flash, alternating with the 8, i. e.
the cooking zone power level has
been reduced to 8.
– All cooking zones switch themselves
off automatically and the displays all
show a flashing 0.
As soon as the cooling elements have
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will automatically continue to
operate at the power setting previously
selected.
Note:
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath
the hob, ensure that there is sufficient
space between the drawer and its
contents and underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient
ventilation for the hob.
If the overheating protection is
activated again contact the Service
Department.
